I'm rejecting the grassy knoll theory on this one.

Who's that in the bush?

This is sad, she went with her secrets, typical Madam..

Oh God, did she know the Clintons?

I'll bet she committed suicide by shooting herself three times in the back of the head.

@Serolf Divad: Nope. Tarpon Monoxide.

That's not cool, y'alls.

I'm not going to speculate Dick Cheney about what vengeful alleged former client Dick Cheney would have the motive and means Dick Cheney to have her killed Dick Cheney.

@Serolf Divad: I'm pretty sure she very sadly accidentally brutally cut her head off while combing her hair.

Oh my goodness, I thought at first it was like a joke or something, but wow, she really is dead. Kind of feel bad actually, I would make a sarcastic remark, but not after someone has passed on.

@KristaJulieva: By which I mean Palfrey being dead, not commenters making light of it, which is totally okay.

And "apparently" several people in Washington, D.C. are relieved that she took her secrets with her.

I think this story deserves Drudge-style whore diamond sirens.

Vitter's bummed. Now he's bangin' CraigsList.

@joehoya: Fucking bingo, man.

@Serolf Divad:
Sorry Dear,

CNN reported that she cut her nipples!

Allright, so who's going to be the first intrepid reporter to call David Vitter's office for comment?

@Serolf Divad: So you're basically suggesting that she had Vladimir Putin on her list? Enjoy the polonium at your next meal!

What I would wonder is why someone with embarrassing secrets about powerful people wouldn't have had round-the-clock security.

High-speed lead poisoning...died of the measles...hunting accident in basement....

She or her killer probably played violent video games, the cause of all the mayhem in the USA.

Guess that answers the whole "did she get boys for Cheney" speculation.

@jagorev: Yes. Round up the usual suspects.

This could revive Geraldo Rivera's career.

No suspects yet, but she was choked with a large diaper, so I think I know who they will be questioning.

Everytime a woman, who actually LIKES sex, dies...the world is just a little poorer. Here's hoping the catch the republican that faked the crime scene, very soon.

"they"...ruined a perfectly good joke, jeeze!

Was she a superdelegate switching from Clinton to Obama, by any chance?

BREAKING NEWS!!!

She committed suicide by shooting herself twice in the back of the head then setting herself on fire.

Do you think Vitter will attend her funeral? I bet there will be plenty of hot tail at the wake!

@masterdebater: Oh please.

Republicans being subject to law is sooooo pre-9/11.

One of her escorts, who was also a University of Maryland Prof, committed suicide last year.
Ok,
How is it that the fucking asshole men who use these services get off scott free and the women get destroyed? David Vitter? Still representing me in the Senate, still standing up for family values, still rich and powerful and not dead. Maybe a couple of administration hacks had to make the (non-existent) transition to the lobbying sector, but what the hell? Let's spend taxpayer dollars hounding these poor women to death and let their johns off with a little slap on the wrist for being a naughty, naughty boy.
God we have women in this country. We buy and sell their bodies like plastic chinese crap at the Megalowmart, and when we get caught we blame them and walk away.
I think Jeremiah Wright had it just right. God Damn America.

This is the second person in this mess that has suicided (the first being professor and prostitude Brandy Britton).

I bet it has something to do with that damned pelican in a tree!!!!

A male dominated society went after the seller and none of the male buyers.

@KristaJulieva: I'm betting she cut herself up into small pieces and put herself in hefty bags. It was a determined suicide, I tell you.

@knife: Oh. God. No.

A Pelican which was spotted in Tarpon Springs just before this tragic event has been found "stuck" in a tree in St. Pete. We now turn to Wolfe Blitzer for live coverage.

This just in: Vitter has been spotted in his Honda in a low speed car chase with the police on the Beltway; a stop sign, a garden hose, and a chained dog dragging from his rear bumper...

All this media attention from suicide may give Brittney Spears ideas. No it won't, Brittney never gets any ideas.

@hebmskebm: ...and a Pelican costume.

You know who's not a suspect in this obvious murder case? Larry Craig.

Where was Hils?

@Spence: Um, she was a hoo-ah.

Learn from this. You should never cross David Vitter.

@Chad Sexington: I think I'm going to start the Whore Liberation Front.

Not to make light of this woman's death, but when I linked to the news site, the ticker was scrolling the message "Woman Sees Jesus in Ultrasound." I got nothing after that.

@masterdebater: Being a prostitute doesn't necessarily require a love of sex. Money maybe, but not sex.

This stinks up to high heavens. This has the Clintons' name written all over it.

I say *they* murdered her.

Eww. CNN says the body is presumed to be Palfrey, like the body is not exactly easily identifiable. I think the irresponsible speculation here about Cheney might be correct. Like the shotgun he used, this crime has Cheney's prints all over it.

Maybe Hillary told the hitman to take out Vitter's cat but used a different word, thus confusing the hitman.

In other news, the Tarpon Springs annex of Fort Marcy Park had its grand opening yesterday. The mood was festive with funnel cakes and cotton candy for the kiddos.

@Spence: Shouldn't it be the Madames International Liberation Front in honor of Palfrey?

Dead chick? 0 Whore Diamonds.

That's so fucking horrible. I read the cover interview with her in $pread, and she was talking about the huge jail term she was facing. It's obvious she was railroaded into committing suicide.

Meanwhile, swine like Vitter, who used her agencies services while causing misery to prostitutes around the world, get off scott free.

Horrifying.

I've been to Tampon Springs; I'm guessing toxic-schlock syndrome.

I hope she posted her info on the Web in an account that will go public if she doesn't enter a password at least once a week.

Yeah, I know. I watch too much Tee-Vee.

Somebody better put Ashley Alexandra Dupre under 24-hour surveillance, pronto, in case the killer has multiple sets of tracks to cover. I'm only partly joking.

Reminds me of that American Military Inspector who risked his life and went to Iraq to inspect the reports of "missing funds". He was so victorious in not finding "any problems at all" , that he said, "oh fuck victory, I'll kill myself anyway".

@Spence: Agreed.

@Gopherit: Here here. A thousand whore diamonds in heaven for Deborah Jeane! Seriously, I just toasted her in the New Orleans bar I'm sitting in with my laptop. Wait a minute, is that an oily Republican in a diaper...?

Vitter did it with his cold, dead hands.

@Gopherit: Now wait a minute - how do you suicide in such a manner as to leave an unrecognizable body? Did she jump in a wood chipper?

think she'll bring some girls over to vince foster's place and party a little? maybe talk about old times?
fuck and yes.

second suicide having to do with this prostitution ring in DC... first prostitute/professor brandy briton and now her...
yikes!

@Ringo73: Sure, ruin one of my last fantasies by making the whole thing about MONEY. Communist! (You're probably right though, darn it)

@Spence: Long live MILF!

And, seriously, this would be the time she'd start handing out names to reduce her sentence.

@LittlePig: Well, Like I said before, a sharp knife, some hefty bags, and a little determination.

vitter: whoremonger, murderer and diaper dandy

I used to live in Tarpon Springs. The best part about it is the name begs to be humorously modified.

Check it out: Tampon Strings

Somewhere up in heaven there is a new angel. And that new angel is whoring out other angels.

She became an hero? How conveeeenient.

Ira Fucking Glass did it - in the desert, with nothing but a loose pile of paper and his power to smug the life out of anything. Then the Rothchilds landed, paided him for his trouble in golden Paul Dollars and took the body to FL. The End.

@bitchincamaro: Shit, man. You beat me to it.

@masterdebater:
No, you're right. Prostitutes do it for the sex. They need money to pay the bills, sure, but they really enjoy their job, and they are really having orgasms and really think I'm cute. They do! I'm not listening! Lalalalala!

@shortsshortsshorts: "I'm rejecting the grassy knoll theory on this one."

Don't take this personally, but you are hopelessly naive.

bitch had it comin'... bitch couldn't keep her mouth shut, I hate that

anyone have Silda's whereabouts - I'm just sayin'

I too was sick of the Democratic primary race, but I think Deborah went a bit too far. I might have even made suicidal threats regarding 'if it goes past Pennsylvania....' But I didn't mean it. That said, it's nice to go back to whore-related topics for a bit.

I'm hoping she wrote a tell all memoir naming all names and giving graphic descriptions of her encounters with all of the DC hypocrites who destroyed her. She should bring the sons-o-bitches down with her.

Where will Vitter's bitter pelican strike next?

The screenplay opportunities offered by this whole thing are mind-boggling.

I think the jury's still out on whether this was actually a suicide.

...like there's going to be a jury.

@WadISay: Meh, I'm going with made-for-TV on this one. I think that's what they did for Heidi "the Floss" Fleiss.

@WadISay: Like Silkwood but with whores.

Jesus Christ. Poor woman. I read an interview with her in $pread Mag a few months ago and thought she was very intelligent and unduly vilified. Meanwhile, the clients went unprosecuted. Awful.
